| for Josei demography Nodame Cantabile Hachimitsu to Clover |
| I side with that! Both are amazing, but I think Hachimitsu to Clover would work better :) Even though Nodame Cantabile is one of my favs, I recommend the second one more! |

| Gorae Byul: The Gyeongseong mermaid It's a damn good tearjerker and romance story |

| If you haven't seen Nodame since your earlier post, I'll give that another push. AFAIK, it's only available outside Japan by less than legal means. Sony once financed an excellent dub from the Ocean group in Vancouver, too, and ran it on its Crackle service for a year or two. Now it's gone from all services in the US. DK about other parts of the world. Nodame Cantabile was a veritable franchise in Japan beginning with a manga that was adapted to anime and live-action on Japanese television. Both have two sequels as well; the live-action sequels were released as movies. The anime version has a 22-episode original series and two, 12-episode sequels. The J-Drama is on AsianCrush: https://www.asiancrush.com/series/017559s/nodame-cantabile but I much prefer the anime. There's a lot of "hamming" in Japanese comedy that I dislike. I grew tired of Ueno Juri as Nodame as the story progressed.  On the other hand, |

| I'd recommend you some manga, but they're pretty much 90% shoujo... Why don't you want any shoujo recs? Most of them don't even have anything considered as ecchi regardless if romance is in it or not. |

| I second Nodame Cantabile. Especially don't forget to watch further than just the first season (afterwards is Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter -> Nodame Cantabile Third Season Special -> Nodame Cantabile Third Season). I would also recommend Library Wars, although it feels a bit shoujo-ish, I think overall it is still targeted towards an older audience. Make sure to watch the movie (Library Wars: The Wings of Revolution) after the tv series. I would also recommend Planetes. I don't want to spoil anything, but it is amazing to see their character growth and change. But the anime focuses on more than just romance, so keep that in mind. |

U9 said: Oh okay, great! Thinking about how the demographic is commonly associated with romance does seem understandable though.Fario-P said: I'd recommend you some manga, but they're pretty much 90% shoujo... Why don't you want any shoujo recs? Most of them don't even have anything considered as ecchi regardless if romance is in it or not. There are some shoujo manga I really like, so please go ahead, I will check them out. As for the reason... Since shoujo romance is so readily available, I wanted different recommendations. Also, often it tends to focus too much on how dashing the male leads are, and as a guy, I don't care too much about that. Your lists are locked to private so idk what you've read already... but here, gonna try to add some non-shoujo if I remember any too
Oh yeah, and +1 to Library Wars too. Happy reading!! |
